MPN Press Desk Posted April 13, 2023 Share Posted April 13, 2023 The first 3D Synth in the History of Music LEIRIA, PORTUGAL - Sound Particles, the software company that has been changing the paradigm of 3D audio software, is making history with the release of the first 3D synthesizer in the market: SkyDust 3D. SkyDust 3D is a virtual instrument with full 3D audio support – you play a note and get instant spatial audio. By fully integrating Sound Particles 3D engine with a polyphonic synthesizer, you will be able to achieve ground-breaking results with an easy-to-use interface. Imagine using MIDI aftertouch to control 3D position, using EGs that control the movement of each note, using a LFO to change the elevation of notes, creating an arpeggio that moves through space. For the first time, spatial audio can be used by musicians as a creative tool. It's fantastic for stereo and exceptional in spatial, making it the ideal choice for music producers, composers, keyboardists, DJs and all professionals working with music, whether they are working in a live performance or producing an album in the studio. SkyDust 3D Main Screen Nuno Fonseca, Founder and CEO of Sound Particles says: “Spatial audio has been in the domain of mixing for a long time. Now, SkyDust 3D brings spatial audio into the domain of the musician. SkyDust 3D will not only change the way music is created but it will also provide artists with a whole new world of creative possibilities. We believe that this will go down in History as a defining moment on the evolution of music technology and we are honored to be part of it.” SkyDust 3D supports more than 30 output formats, including stereo, 5.1, 7.1, 7.1.2 (Dolby Atmos), 9.1.6, Ambisonics (up to 6th order), Binaural (3D sound over headphones), among many others. SkyDust 3D Oscillator/Spatial Screen Key features: ● Oscillators: 8 oscillators, each with a 3D position per note, to obtain fantastic sounds. ● Spatial: Use EGs, LFOs or movement modifiers, with the fully integrated 3D engine, to create unbelievable spatial effects. ● Presets: Easy-to-use presets, with the power and flexibility of sub-presets. ● Arpeggiator: A modern approach to the Arpeggiator and Sequencer. ● Frequency Modulation: Add FM synthesis and create amazing sounds. ● Filter: Subtractive synthesis, with independent filters, to obtain wonderful results. ● Pitch: Use pitch effects to create unique sounds. ● Effects/Mix: A Mixer and audio effects that help you shape the sound. ● Matrix: The maximum flexibility for the ultimate power - anything is possible. ● Randomizer: Create endless presets if you are looking for “happy accidents”. SkyDust 3D is available starting April 12th for a launch discounted price of $299 for the spatial version and $149 for the stereo-only version, and you can try it at the Sound Particles booth during The NAMM Show from April 13th to the 15th.

Dave Bryce Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 Update: SkyDust 3D v1.1 is now available and brings full MPE support, more unique and musical presets as well as performance enhancements designed to streamline the user experience. MIDI Polyphonic Expression (MPE) is a new MIDI protocol that allows users to be more expressive and spontaneous in their performance. SkyDust 3D implements MPE in the spatial realm to bring even more creative possibilities for artists and composers. A host of new presets in version 1.1 is designed to take advantage of MPE and its expanding list of compatible hardware. SkyDust 3D v1.1 Movement screen Version 1.5 of SkyDust 3D, scheduled for release this summer, will bring even more updates and additions such as the ability to import samples - which opens up the platform to endless sound possibilities when paired with SkyDust’s powerful spatial audio engine, more oscillator waveforms, more waveform modifiers, more effects as well as workflow improvements like program change control, copy/paste between oscillators, and the ability to link oscillators. SkyDust 3D v1.1 Ooscillator screen SkyDust 3D v1.1 Updates: MPE Support More Presets Performance Improvements SkyDust 3D v1.5 Updates: Ability to import samples (instead of regular oscillators) More oscillator waveforms More waveform modifiers (wave shapers) More Effects More EGs Program change control MIDI Learn list Copy/paste between oscillators Link Oscillators Ring and Amplitude Modulations Preset search New Presets ==> David Bryce Music • Funky Young Monks <== Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
